Beyonce’s ‘Daddy Lessons’ Reportedly Shut Out of Grammys as Country Submission

The drama surrounding Beyonce's song "Daddy Lessons" off her critically-acclaimed album Lemonade continues.

Rolling Stone Countryreports that the song was allegedly given a no-go from the Recording Academy when seeking consideration in the Grammy Awards' country categories. The pop superstar joined forces with the Dixie Chicks at the 2016 CMA Awards to perform a stellar rendition of "Daddy Lessons," releasing a special version of the song after night's spectacle. The performance was followed by a swarm of controversy when the CMA was accused of deleting social media posts surrounding Beyonce's appearance at the show, which the country music organization denied doing.

2017's Grammy nominations were announced on Tuesday (Dec. 6), with Beyonce leading the nominees for a total of nine nods across a variety of categories, including Album of the Year for Lemonade, Best Music Video, Best Urban Contemporary Album and even Best Rock Performance for her collaboration with Jack White on "Don't Hurt Yourself."
